President Trump signed three orders today designed to reduce tax and regulatory burdens, including a review of all major 2016 tax regulations. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin stressed the review will be comprehensive but said inversions which are are when U.S. firms moved their legal addresses abroad to cut their tax bills through mergers with foreign companies will be “one of the significant things” the Treasury will look at. The other two orders review parts of Dodd Frank.
